Re: John Cleese on Sarah Palin
does whether he can vote or not really matter all that much, when his voice is a voice of reason? I say no.

Re: Hayden Panettiere PSA: Vote for McCain
Am I the only one in this country not enamored with its cheerleader extraordinaire?
Regardless, I found this to be a very fun ad.

Re: Weird Al Yankovic: Whatever You Like
I love Weird Al, but I find my love of some of his songs correlates to whether I like the original song or not. Not a big fan of this tune.
The one song of his that I've consistently disliked over the years is Phony Calls, which was a parody of Waterfalls. Never liked waterfalls, not one bit. Makes listening to his version almost as difficult

Re: Tell McCain to End the Politics of Hate
Yeah, it is kind of sad. I'm technically a democrat, but I've never been a line voter, I always look at the issues and what this clown has done versus that clown.
While the primaries were cruising along, I'd already pegged Obama as my candidate. However, I haven't liked Hillary for a looooong time, and she was still very much in the running. So, I was looking at Republicans to see what they offered.
I'd decided that McCain was the one Republican I could possibly vote for if it ended up being him and Hillary. How times have changed.
Obviously, the guy I chose is in the running for the big prize. However, I would never vote for McCain at this point because he has seriously lost his way. Palin was the final straw for me. The moment he chose her as his running mate, I lost pretty much any respect I had remaining for him. It was probably his most irresponsible decision of the entire campaign.

Re: "Barack the Magic Negro"
Considering the history of the US and what has happened to some former prominent black leaders, I consider this kind of "humor" very dangerous. All it takes is one hillbilly with a gun that thinks he is a 'true patriot' and 'protecting our country' to set us back another 50 years...again.
Just look how quickly things turned ugly at the McCain/Palin rallies with their inflammatory speeches. Palin being the worse of the two. It doesn't take much to bring out the worst in some people.

Good stuff. I like the implication that she probably killed the cat

Re: Sarah Palin Gets Booed in Philly
Because Pennsylvania is a one of the battleground states, that McCain appears to be losing. So, he sends his shill into the lions den(she's a good christian) to be mauled by the mob.
Seriously, he might have the teeniest little chance of scraping Pennsylvania from Obama at this point, but only if something dramatic happens. However, there is NO chance that he will win Philly. His only chance of winning PA is to win the blue collar suburban and rural towns...where Biden grew up and is steadily helping to win over to Obama's side.
Of course, Philly fans only boo what they don't like. If you make a really boneheaded play, they will boo you...loudly. However, if you do something to redeem yourself in an admirable fashion, they will cheer you.
They can be a little extreme, but they are by and large, fair. They are just very passionate about what they like and dislike and are not afraid to let you know.

Re: Sarah Palin Gets Booed in Philly
I think the only fans that might be worse to their own players are Wembley fans. They'd boo their own player after he scored a goal, if they didn't like him.

Re: Sarah Palin Gets Booed in Philly
Not that I would try to ever defend Palin in any way, but this is Philly after all. I grew up and live in the shadow of that town and have been to numerous sporting events.
Philly fans will boo just about anything. The opposition, their own team, injured players, Santa Claus. So, you do need to take it with a grain of salt.

Re: Betty White Calls Sarah Palin a "Crazy Bitch" on Craig Ferguson
Gotta love Betty White! After all these years, she's still got it. She might not be sexy anymore(unless you're into that kind of thing), but she can still drop a punchline with more panache than 99% of the industry.

Re: Man Backs over Police Car
the guy is lucky he didn't get hit with any kind of 'assaulting a police officer' offense. I'm guessing the officer had not gotten back in the car yet, otherwise he probably would have

Re: Sarah McLachlan ASPCA Commercial
Some people lambast the Onion. They claim that it is no longer funny or relevant or whatever. A pox on those people! They are fools to abandon such a fine publication! Fools I tell you!!!
The Onion still, every so often, produces a beautiful gem as the one above.

Re: Sarah McLachlan ASPCA Commercial
I do understand that. Though I didn't state it clearly, I was referring more to the breeding of pure breds and the hubris that seems to pervade so many breeders.
Of course, sometimes my brain understands my argument better than my fingers.
